Evansville Police are investigating several recent thefts involving fraudulent gun sales.
In multiple cases, the victims gave money to the suspect who claimed he had guns for sale. The suspect claimed the guns were at a different location and would tell the victims he needed the cash up front. The suspect would leave with the money and never return. Police have identified a suspect, but are trying to locate any additional victims.
Detectives are asking anyone who was contacted by someone attempting to sell a gun in this manner or anyone who was victimized by the suspect to call 812-436-7979.
